ASTM B209 Aluminum Sheet


astm b209

ASTM B209 / 7075 aluminum is a 7000 series aluminum alloy: the prime alloying addition is zinc & it is formulated for main forming into wrought products. The properties of 7075 T6 aluminum include 17 general variations. This page shows a summary range across all of them. The graph bars on the material properties cards further compare 7075 T6 aluminum to 7000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), & the entire database. A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it’s 50% of the highest, & so on.

About ASTM B209 Aluminum-

T6 temper 7075 has an ultimate tensile strength of 510–540 MPa (74,000–78,000 psi) & yield strength of at least 430–480 MPa (63,000–69,000 psi). It has a failure elongation of 5–11%. Aluminum Alloy Sheet is the most widely used form of Aluminum Alloy. It is commonly used for construction, aerospace & defence applications. The T6 temper is usually achieved by homogenizing the cast 7075 at 450 °C for several hours, quenching, & then aging at 120 °C for 24 hours. This yields the peak strength of the 7075 alloys. The strength is derived mainly from finely dispersed eta & eta’ precipitates both within grains & along grain boundaries. Plus Metal provides the best range of high-quality 7075 T6 Aluminum Sheet in India.

Applications of ASTM B209 Aluminum

Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, aa7075 is used for highly stressed structural parts. Applications of ASTM B209 aluminum sheet includes aircraft fittings, fuse parts, meter shafts & gears, missile parts, regulating valve parts, worm gears, keys, & various other commercial aircraft, aerospace & defense equipment & components.

ASTM B209 Aluminum Fabrication and Heat Treatment

·         Machinability ASTM B209 Aluminum alloy can be machined in the annealed condition. Oil lubricants are used for performing machining operations.
·         Forming ASTM B209 Aluminum alloy can be formed in the annealed condition. It can be warmed at 95 to 121°C (201 to 249°F) if any trouble is encountered.
·         Welding ASTM B209 Aluminum alloy can be welded using a resistance welding method. The gas welding method is not preferred for welding this alloy. Arc welding method should also be avoided as it results in the degradation of corrosion resistance property of this alloy.
·         Heat Treatment 7075 aluminum alloy is annealed at (900°F) for 2 h followed by water quenching & precipitation hardening heat treatment.
·         Forging ASTM B209 Aluminum alloy is forged at 372 to 483°C (700 to 900°F).
·         Hot Working ASTM B209 Aluminum alloy can be hot worked at 122°C (250°F)
·         Cold Working ASTM B209 Aluminum alloy can be cold worked using conventional methods in soft & annealed conditions.
·         Hardening al7075 alloy can be hardened by precipitation heat treatment.

7075-T6  is a high strength alloy originally developed for aircraft and aerospace applications, often referred to as “aircraft grade”. The main alloy ingredients of zinc and copper make 7075 one of the highest strengths aluminium alloys available. Plus Metals are aluminium sheet dealers in Chennai . 7075 in the T6 temper is stronger than most mild steels. 7075 is considered to have good machinability, good corrosion resistance but is not good for welding. Aluminium 7075-T651 has similar characteristics to T6 but goes through an extra process to relieve some of the stresses in the material. Aluminium Alloy 7075 is available in T6 and T651 condition in sheet plate and round bar. Plus Metals is a suppliers importer stockist and dealers of 7075 T6 Aluminum Sheet in Chennai.

Why are Aluminum Sheets are used in Aerospace Industry?

Image
According to the Aluminum Association, the history of air & space flight parallels the history of aluminum alloy advancement & production. Next to steel, the aluminum sheet is the most commonly used & commercially available metal. Its soft, ductile surface has been moved with a number of various metals to create alloys that exhibit highly useful qualities that have served the aerospace industry for over 100 years. To know more about aerospace aluminum sheet, visit aluminum sheet supplier in India . First Flight Aluminum's lightweight & high strength-to-weight ratio make it a good choice for aircraft, which is probably why the Wright brothers chose it to build parts of the engine used for their ground-breaking successful flight back in 1903. Though the initial primitive airplanes were made of lightweight wood, the disadvantage of wood is that it's susceptible to rot. For that reason – and as it became readily available – aluminum sheets became the g
